I have this one perched on an antique crock (on top of my Baker's Cabinet)... looking up at a blue jay painting that my son bought for me. I love how the two works of art look together. I have purchased many of Mauricio's birds for myself and to give as gifts. All are incredible works of art.
Delightful depiction of a horned owl (?) as a useful planting vessel. My wife has collected a number of Gorky Gonzales' ceramic creations and they are all whimsically conceived and masterfully handcrafted.
We bought a bird for each of our children's families and one for ourselves. The idea was to put them on our Christmas trees every year, but the birds are too beautiful to put away! They will be displayed all year round and I suspect there are more bird gifts in our future.
